The series “Contours effacés” explores identity through the lens of the visible and the invisible.
Through her portraits of women, Morgane Parmentier seeks to reveal what lies behind a face rather than capture it. Each painting occupies a delicate liminal space between what is revealed and what fades away; between what is unveiled and what resists the gaze. The contours are fluid, as if the subject were oscillating between presence and disappearance.
These portraits evoke the moment one steps back to make way for another, especially for a woman.
